VIDEO PRESENTATION, BELOW!
This gorgeous dream of a car is in very good condition ready to be driven away. A Champaign Metalic finish is showcased on the exterior of this car; in very nice condition once you see the car you will fall in love.
You will drive in class to the golf course or tennis courts either as a convertible or a hard top. This 450 SL sure has that classic look of the earlier Mercedes models.
Since 2012, some of the repairs that have been performed are; new sun visors, new brake calipers and pads, new subframe bushings, new exhaust system, a new battery, new pan gasket, and new plugs along with some basic maintainance.
The body is very straight and there is sure no sign of repairs or chips/scratches. Ther appears to be no rust evident.
The interior looks like almost new, the seats do show some wear from over the years but no upgrade was done. It's very original. With some leather conditioner, I think the seats would come back to very good condition. The dash is also in very nice. There are ususually cracks on these older Mercedes dashes, but this dash has one very small crack that is not real obvious.
The car is believed to be original miles, averaging 1700 miles a year the car sure does not seem like it has been driven a lot in the past .
An updated Alpine stereo was added with a 6 CD changer in the trunk.
All of its equipment is currently working, the AC, radio, gauges and lights. Including aftermarket speakers located in the rear of the car for those days when all you want to do is listen to music and enjoy the drive.
It is very rare to see a 1980 Mercedes in this great condition, we can truly say it is one of the nicer 450SL models we've seen for a while.
The car rides on BF Goodrich tires and its original Mercedes Benz wheels, size tires in the front and the rear P205/70R14
The removable hard top is in excellent condition.
The trunk is the perfect example of how great this car is, it is extremely clean and very spacious for those grocery days.
Its hard to believe this car is over 30 years old, this could be a cherished addition to your collection. Carrying a 4.5L engine and producing up to 220 hp @ 5000rpm this car drives smooth and shift its gears very easily.
The brown convertible soft top is also very nice on the car.
The undercarriage is in very nice original condition. It's very solid with no obvious signs of rust.
The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England. There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine. The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get? Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG. The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you. If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.
